CHAPTER 4

Sarah

At that very moment when he grabbed my hands and yelled, I did not know what to do I simply stood there looking at him and blinking like I was a zombie. I could feel that he was hurt too much, at least his actions showed that, not sure about his mental health though.

But the question is why had he held me the way he did? Was he trying to express his pain, his sorrow and why would he not Olivia did not do the right thing she should have thought of something better, she should have spoken to him about all of this? But if she was not interested at the first place why did she even accept the marriage proposal in the first place. As much as I knew she loved this guy too at least that is what she told me last time we spoke.

I was so drowned in my thoughts that I totally forgot that he still had held my hands and was looking at me like he was trying to get some answers from me. I gently pulled my hands off his grip, but I could not as his hold was too strong. I pulled harder this time and looked straight into his eyes and that’s when he loosens his grip.

Once I could sense that the silence lasted for long, I questioned "Now what?!" When I asked that question Michael was still looking at me and giving me weird look, I ignored him.

"We can't let people know what's going on hear" Amber said. I looked at her amazed. Did she mean that? Her concern was people who should not bother at all.

"People who were supposed to know knows it, what else do you want now." I stated.

"You keep out of this" yelled Michael.

I jumped to the voice and looked at him amazed. This person seemed calm till now and suddenly this reaction. There was suddenly a deep silence again. I looked everywhere and was trying to look at something that can keep me distracted. While I was looking around, I caught a pair of eyes looking at me. I don’t know what is up with all the people in this room why were they all looking at me like I’m some weird object. I simply gave a simple smile to her and realized that is was Michael’s mother. For, my assurance I also touched my face twice to check if everything was fine, as this son and mother were looking at me like I was some bunny.

"Fine then, I think we need to call it off" Michael’s father said. Finally, some wise man spoke. This should have been decided long back why were we all so silent the whole time, looking at each other and having a blank face and some people looking at me like I was some dummy.

"No" was his Michael’s mother immediate reply. Well why was there a No now, why can’t they call of the wedding which cannot happen if not this wedding then what are they planning to do next.

" We can't do this I can't have people thinking wrong about my son" she said. Well she has a point but isn’t his son an owner of a global renown company, why should this thing even matter him and his reputation.

Also, I do not understand what's wrong with this people how there can be a wedding without the bride.

"Michael will marry Olivia's sister" his mother stated.

Where did the sister come from.

Wait is she referring to me...

"N..."

"I don't have any problem" Amber cut me off.

What the hell!
